- The article explains how to calculate delivery dates for sales documents in Business Central.
- Sales lead time in Business Central is based on the Shipping Time concept, which defines the time required to deliver goods after the shipment.
- The Shipping Time field on the Shipping and Billing tab can be used to update the shipping time on a customer order.
- A date formula can be used in the shipping time field to calculate the planned delivery date on the sales lines.
- Default shipping time can be set on the customer card or the ship-to address to automatically update the delivery date of a customer order.
- Dynamic date formulas like CW cannot be used for backward calculations, and absolute date formulas like 5D should be used instead.
